Ricoh launches PX series

Ricoh has announced a new consumer lifeproof compact in the shape of the Ricoh PX. The compact is both water- and shock-resistant, and strong consumer specification.

The PX features a 16MP CCD sensor, as well as Ricoh’s Smooth Imaging Engine IV. The PX also features a 5x optical zoom covering a 28-140mm focal range and a 2.7in, 230k-dot LCD screen which is scratch-resistant and anti-reflective.

The Ricoh PX will be available at the start of next month with an RRP of £179.99. For more information, visit Ricoh online.

Hmm …another compact camera with 16 megapixels squeezed into a small sensor.Surely its about time manufacturers stop this megapixel madness and concentrate on improving image quality,ISO etc in compacts.It would be interesting to see when it comes if image quality is worth cramming 16 million pixels on a compact sensor.
